What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us provide you with a better experience by remembering your preferences and keeping your session secure.
How We Use Cookies
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation, OAuth authentication, encrypted session management, and secure data transmission between your browser and our servers.
Preference Cookies
These cookies remember your settings and preferences, such as your theme selection (dark/light mode), dashboard layout preferences, and encryption key storage preferences (session-only vs persistent) to provide a personalized experience.
Functional Cookies
These cookies enable advanced functionality like encrypted reference key storage (when you choose persistent storage), dashboard state management, and auto-save functionality for your encrypted data cards and records.
Security Cookies
These cookies help protect against unauthorized access, maintain secure OAuth sessions, prevent CSRF attacks, and ensure the integrity of your encrypted data transmission during dashboard operations.
Third-Party Cookies
We may use third-party services that set their own cookies. These include:
- OAuth Providers: For secure authentication when you sign in with Google, Microsoft, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Discord, or Yahoo
- Session Management: Session storage for maintaining your login state securely
- Content Delivery: To ensure fast loading of website assets and tools
Your Cookie Choices
Managing Your Preferences
You have control over which cookies you accept. You can:
- Manage cookie settings in your browser
- Delete existing cookies from your device
- Set your browser to refuse all cookies (may affect functionality)
Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we use browser localStorage to store certain preferences locally on your device. This data never leaves your browser and is not transmitted to our servers:
- Theme Preference: Your selected theme (dark/light mode) is stored locally to maintain your visual preferences across sessions.
- Cookie Consent: Your cookie consent choice is stored locally so we don't repeatedly ask for your preference.
You can clear localStorage data at any time through your browser settings. This will reset your theme preference and cookie consent choice.

| Cookie Type | Duration |
|---|---|
| hexbon-session | 120 minutes |
| remember_web | 1 year |
| XSRF-TOKEN | Until browser is closed |
